I didn't think that the game was great to begin with, but also if sex were de-emphasized I still would have bought it. I'd be disappointed if there were fewer romance ompanions, I'd have been disappointed if there was no romance at all. I like romancein my rpgs, they're fun and engaging in them with my character is a good, compelling time for me. Larian didn't do the best job of it, but they didn't do a bad job in my opinion.
